last overnight shift.

WOw ICU== no regrets as an elective! i may not do fantastically well in it, but i'm enjoying it!!!! i mean, where else would you get so involved with individual animal critical care and then get to do a castration and would debridement also?! and then of course i got smeared with blood stained faeces water after this dog had an enema and i helped carry it back to its cage.. of course i had to be handed the bum end. -__-

and then i did 2 consults for cat bite abscesses. i am very very poor at thinking on my feet and explaining stuff. SUPER need to think about it before i start.

and i actually did this other consult for a cat that was gagging while i had blood from the castration caked under my nails... tried to wash it off before touching their cat while i was in teh consult room but really it hardly made a difference.

later in the wee hours of the morning at 5am i helped to clean a dog infested with fleas. help to carry it out of the wash basin, bum end again of course. fleas like the backends of dogs. when i returned to my room in kendall, i saw live fleas crawling on my pants. OMG. i hope the washing detergent gets rid of them cos frankly i dun think capstar will work in the washing machine... hope nothing got into my room as well cos they can bloody survive in carpet for up to 3 months.


got to switch my body clock around by 12 h in the next 24h. how am i going to do that. my shift starts tmrw at 6am. i just finished today at 6am.
